A real New Year’s Resolution to be ready for Christmas?
I am thinking…I always freak out about losing weight for Christmas…or decide to do lose weight as a New Year’s resolution… I mean…that is…until about Jan 14th…
so…my question and thought is…how about a reverse challenge…a with a new kindov resolution?
What I mean is…why don’t we stop waiting until then to get serious…and just do it now, slow steady and healthy…so we can enjoy the holidays!?
According to this website, we have 7 months (http://www.7is7.com/otto/countdown.html) or so before Jan 1st 2009!
That is :
224 days
5379 hours
322773 minutes
19366436 seconds
is that a long time…or not? forever…or just right around the corner?
I see it is a long term challenge/goal…one that will require you have to have a REAL New Year’s RESOLUTION to make it there!
Imagine Christmas with less of you to share with your family! The compliments, the freedom, shopping, dressing up, the gift it would be to yourself…
It could be one of the best Christmas presents you ever gave or got!
Ok, so who is in…?
I love it!
You are such an inspiration!
Count me in. What a novel idea.
Count me in too!
you know, i went to thanksgiving this year weighing about 150 or so, and a great aunt (or some kind of distant relation) brought pics from the previous year when i must have weighed something under 130, talk about depressing. so many people in my life have watched my weight jump up and down, and i hate that. like all the compliments you get when you’re small, and then a year later, you’re nearly as big as you used to be. that is such an awful feeling. in any case, your right, this is great with xmas just 7 months away. if we all stick to our plan for the next 7 months, we are going to be in great shape by then. that is something to look forward to. i keep getting bummed about not being able to wear a bikini this summer, but i hadn’t even thought about how good it’s going to feel to get to the holidays looking good. thanks for posting!
What a fantastic idea!
I am already in. One of my first pics was me in my Ray’s Christmas Part get dressed up dress. I hate the pic and will not be doing a repeat of that performance, feeling that way, or looking that way at his party this year. That is approx 32 weeks, I could be down 32 pounds if I lost onlyy 1 pound a week, I would be almost out of the 200. I’ll take that!
Funny you say that cuz I actually made my goal the holidays (end of year). I want to lose most if not all my weight by Christmas 2008. That way when I go back home this time, they will be soo shocked of how great I look. ANd I will feel fabulous and eat without guilt, and just enjoy the holidays. That was my goal this year and I’m sticking to it.
Right on. We can do it. My goal too is for this to be the first year I don’t have to put “lose wieght” on my resolution list.
I am in!
Hey Chrisie, I was on the Heartbreakers forum and every one was buzzing about your challenge we all think its great. I resolve to be 169 by 2009. Thanks again Chrisie, you are so clever! -Dee
Count me in! I can’t wait to see how much I can lose by Christmas. If I lose enough, I may even dress up this year instead of hiding behind some jeans and a sweatshirt!
Ok…
